As you say, I'm going by your words. You seem eager to reject the notion I support that women can control their lives. That somehow women's poor relationship choices are a man's fault.
History has proven you wrong. Frederick Douglas proves you wrong. Marian Wright Edeleman proves you wrong. Lena Horne proves you wrong. Josephine Baker proves you wrong. Bryant Gumbel proves you wrong. Julian Bond proves you wrong. I can keep this up.
You make the mistake, like many people, of shaping reality (as you perceive it) to your philosophy. I shape my philosophy to reality.
Now would be a good time to say "Oops, my bad shorty".
lol You make the mistake of thinking you know what reality is. You're just trying to make it fit into what you can see. Once you've learned to see what's really there, you'll be alright. None of this is about women controlling their lives. Of course they can control their lives. This is about the black family to me and the continuation of it. And so on. And no Frederick Douglas doesn't prove me wrong. He proves that he was a victim to the same mentality that has plagued black men since brought here. And you can't use him because he was married to a black woman and strengthed by a black woman and some would say even freed by a black woman. He spent like 50 years with HER, his 2nd wife he spent like 9 or something. I'm not even really going to count that other than to say he wanted to see what all the fuss was about. None of the others you've listed prove me wrong either. Because all of them were victims of the same disease.
And i don't need to apologize for anything. Lone already stated it. You guys should LISTEN every once in a while.
